Generally the highest you can afford (I use 98) but 95 and up is fine! Lead free is fine too. No additives required.

I seem to recall earlier conversations on this, and that gasoline octane ratings in the US are different (lower for the same grade gasoline) than in Europe. Not sure about the rest of the planet, nor what the exact differences were.

Nowhere.  Premium is fine.

You might want to check into Sunoco racing fuel. Expensive but very high octane fuel. Here is the web site, you can see if there is a dealer near you:
